http://photogmusic.com/arkells-lordhuron-ctcentre/#respondSat, 16 Feb 2019 16:29:34 +0000http://photogmusic.com/?p=45250Arkells stopped by Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre for the leg of their Rally Cry Tour.
Arkells is becoming Canada’s rock saviour for the Millennial generation.
While I thought the audience seen very scattered in the GA area and the seats before they went on.
But once they got on stage it was a wild fun times with everyone standing and dancing!
The band is currently promoting their fifth album Rally Cry which is getting good reviews.
Wonderful stage presences by lead singer Max Kerman moving all around the stage.
Mix of the hits from their discography, I was just happy to hear Oh, The Boss Is Coming!
Overall they rolled out the good times for a Friday night even if Max had to bring out sick notes for those not having to come to work the next day.
They already become a band that can do rock stadium shows! 8/10.

Opening up for Arkells was the American Lord Huron.
Glad to finally see them live since I missed them back in 2017 when they played at Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party.
Performed a wonderful rock set and played tracks from their 2018 album Vide Noir. 7/10.

The first band to perform was Ottawa’s The Offers.
First time seeing them and it is a power pop band consisting members from Mother’s Children, Average Times and many others from the Ottawa scene. 7/10
Second band was Ottawa’s The Thrill.
Loud psych-punk rock set that was thrilling. 7/10.
Ending off was Toronto’s Goodbye Honolulu.
Having miss them a few times last year, finally got the chance to see them.
Put on a insane set of garage rock that had everyone dancing to their music.
Playing materials from No Honey, More Honey and some new stuff.
Great Friday night to heat up the venue from the frigid cold! 8/10.
